Most of the reviews pretty old..I removed a bunch that were very old
Hopefully the new place will be OK

Review from Mark L.
Chicago, ILIngredients:
- One tired, hungry, grouchy family of 5, touring the city and arriving in midtown Manhattan rather late for lunch.
- One restaurant with a helpful, friendly staff who manages to serve up delicious, kosher pizza and calzones with smiles to aforementioned family despite a line of impatient people that was forming.
Yield: 5 satisfied stomachs, 2 relieved parents, 2 recharged older kids and 1 6-year-old with the spring returned to her step!
We were about to order up a whole, plain cheese pizza pie when we noticed, to our excitement, that there were pre-made pizzas with a variety of toppings in the serving case, all available by the slice. That's a treat that we don't get at home, so we quickly changed our order to plain cheese pizza slices for the purists, trying out a couple of pepper & onion slices and a spinach slice, all of which were delicious. The pizza wasn't the floppy-crusted, grease-dripping kind that I normally associate with New York style pizza. It was more like Boston or Chicago thin crust, with a slightly crispy crust and plenty of cheese (no need to ask for extra cheese on these slices), baked to perfection so that the toppings retain their color, flavor and some of their mouth feel. As you probably surmise from the way I've worded this review, this is exactly the way my family likes its pizza. Even our 6-year-old, who is a very finicky eater, asked for a second slice.
One daughter, who has the misfortune of being allergic to tomato products, had an all-veggie calzone, which she found so tasty and satisfying that she polished the whole thing off right there in the restaurant - she's NEVER eaten that much in one sitting before.
We all appreciated the selection of bottled drinks, and I had a cup of one of their gourmet coffees, which, while it didn't compare to a Starbuck's dark roast cup, was good, freshly brewed and definitely what I needed at that moment.
The bill came to $28 and change - just over $5.50/person. I'd call that a terrific restaurant deal! -
Review from Daniel H.
KEW GARDEN HL, NYThis kosher cafe is clean, two single rest rooms and much seating.
The food I enjoy is the Greek salad where they include by request , dressing of choice. I recommend the olive oil and tahina,
I give the cafe 4 stars. -
Review from Jordan Bennett S.
Laguna Niguel, CAThis place was good, The guy at the conger was very nice. I ordered the Cheese and Mushroom Calzone, it was a bit small and lacking more stuffing. It was a little cold in some parts, but it was still VERY delicious, and in reality thats all that really matters. They have a large verity of beverages in a big cooler so you can basically have anything you want with their large verity of food. -
Review from Tray T.
Baton Rouge, LAAbsolutely terrible. Hopefully you're checking this review BEFORE you try it. To those checking it afterward, I'd like to offer my sincerest condolences. -
Review from Desmond E.
Manhattan, NYPretty disappointing, but , decent location, and as with all pizza shops, when it gets busy expect a warm slice, -
Review from Olivia G.
Palo Alto, CAPizza was ok. Ordered sushi (big mistake) delivery was fast. -
Review from Ben K.
New York, NYI've been told to steer clear of this place because they've been shut down for health code violations multiple times. My coworker on the other hand, was not aware of this and was going pretty regularly to indulge in egg salad on a bagel which she deemed "pretty good."
Unfortunately, last week when the employee reached for a bagel to smear on the egg salad, a giant cockroach moseyed on out from within. Needless to say, she left in a hurry.
Just. Stay. Away. -
Review from Michel P.
Brooklyn, NYOh, Jerusalem Pizza. Bring your friends here to show them what the *really* good Jews look like.
This place is hilarious; I don't even know how to explain it. My friend asked for Hawaiian (don't ask how long it too me to spell that right) Pizza and I almost died.
Anyway, they have Pizza, Falafel, Sushi, and lot of other things even though at first it only looks like pizza. The pizza is good, kind of pricey. -
Review from Enrique B.
Ann Arbor, MIWhoa. When my friends said we were going to J-2 for lunch yesterday, I was like, "Forget that! Kosher food is the worst!"
Totally wrong. I was absolutely totally wrong. This place has a great buffet in the back with tons of fish and fruit. Those are my two favorite things to eat. I could go on and on about how it lacks ambience and the place needs a good scrub, but we should be thanking them for even existing. Or at least that is how they make it seem.
Seriously, though. Delicious buffet. -
Review from Shawn A.
Astoria, NYKosher pizza already starts off at a pretty harsh handicap, but I've seen some establishments rise to the occasion and reach the level of mildly enjoyable.
Not the case with Jerusalem II. Just the thought of this place makes me gag. Forget worst Kosher pizza in the city, this may very well be the worst pizza of any kind.
The place is a dump too. Probably because they gave up trying to scrub the projectile vomit off the walls. -
Review from Dhaval M.
Floral Park, NYBest falafell in New York City. Best hummus, tahini and absolutely one of the most delicious salads to go with their tasty falaffels.
I always go for the Jerusalem platter. This place was introduced to me by my uncle who was king of vegetarian cuisine -- the fattest vegetarian known to man! He worked in the diamond district and would always bring his low-key clients, friends and family members to this joint.
He was very picky about what he felt was good for you to eat and what wasn't, so he'd always push the Jerusalem platter as the go-to item as opposed to the regular falaffel sandwich.
And boy am I glad he made it this way. It's pretty much a falaffel but all the ingredients are served up separately instead of together. It really is just super tasty and great. I have had their pizza once or twice, I don't remember anything about it. -
Review from Kenny N.
The black hats are here! The slices don't get hot enough for the crazy line you might stand in. It's filling with crunchy crust. The pizza does its job but no more.
Salad bar, fries, and falafel are carried here too. They ran out of garlic knots by my 430pm order to my sadness -
Review from Rachel G.
Brooklyn, NYSurprise Surprise...this place has pretty good pizza! I had my doubts at first from all the various reviews...but I decided not to let any of them make my mind up for me.
I had 2 slices & a soda ($7.25) my only complaint is that they did not have pepsi..which is my favorite thing about pizza! The slices had some sort of "spice" which made them I guess different from non-kosher pizza...I enjoyed the change.
Let's get to the juicy stuff...what I didn't like was the little bugs flying all over..which I'm only hoping was not in my food. The seats weren't that clean...but I guess I should be glad none of it got on my pants.
Conclusion...Good pizza, bad atmosphere -
Review from Danielle A.
Philadelphia, PAMy fiance went here and brought us back a HUGE raspberry hamentaschen. It was the best I've ever had. The cookie was moist and tasted like a sugar cookie, and the raspberry filling was delicious. I thought the recipe I use every year was great, but now I wish I had theirs!
My fiance says the pizza was great, and that since they've changed locations and names (it is now called Jerusalem Cafe), both the inside of the restaurant and the bathrooms are clean. Remember that many of the negative reviews here are based on the old location when they were still Jerusalem II.
